    The economy was on a great trajectory thanks to the inflation reduction act, now it’s crashing into the ground. Just check the value of the dollar.

    The past 5 years were a struggle everywhere, we just barely got past the effects of COVID on the world economy.

      So you didn’t say what metric indicated the economy was doing so well. Do you think the raising costs of housing, the raising cost of food and groceries, skyrocketing car prices, lackluster jobs reports, declining number of people able to afford a $1000 emergency, or the roll back of covid hazard pay were the best indicators of the strength of the economy the last 4 years? Because the economy has been abysmal for all but the wealthy. Pretending otherwise is exactly what got the Democrats obliterated in the general election last year.
